He was born in Haifa, Israel.[1]

Meron is an Arab-Israeli.[2][3] Meron said in 2012 that he was certain that Israeli Olympic representation, which has seen few Arabs, is determined only according to criteria: "There’s a minimum you have to meet, and if Arab athletes didn’t meet the minimum, that means that they weren’t good enough."[3]

Weightlifting career

Meron competed for Israel at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, in Weightlifting--Men's Bantamweight. He came in 18th, after lifting a total of 270 kg in his best lifts in military press, snatch, and clean & jerk.[1][4] When he competed in the Olympics he was 5-4.5 (164 cm) tall, and weighed 123 lbs (56 kg).[1]

Meron marched with the Israeli flag at the 1960 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.[3]

gollark: The migration to systemd as its init system started in August 2012, and it became the default on new installations in October 2012. It replaced the SysV-style init system, used since the distribution inception. On 24 February 2020, Aaron Griffin announced that due to his limited involvement with the project, he would, after a voting period, transfer control of the project to Levente Polyak. This change also led to a new 2-year term period being added to the Project Leader position. The end of i686 support was announced in January 2017, with the February 2017 ISO being the last one including i686 and making the architecture unsupported in November 2017. Since then, the community derivative Arch Linux 32 can be used for i686 hardware.
gollark: Vinet led Arch Linux until 1 October 2007, when he stepped down due to lack of time, transferring control of the project to Aaron Griffin.
gollark: Originally only for 32-bit x86 CPUs, the first x86_64 installation ISO was released in April 2006.
gollark: Inspired by CRUX, another minimalist distribution, Judd Vinet started the Arch Linux project in March 2002. The name was chosen because Vinet liked the word's meaning of "the principal," as in "arch-enemy".
gollark: Arch Linux has comprehensive documentation, which consists of a community wiki known as the ArchWiki.
